School Uniform Consultation 2026 Results

The consultation generated a great deal of thoughtful and constructive feedback from parents, carers and other stakeholders, helping us to shape a uniform policy that maintains our high standards while making uniform more affordable and accessible for families.

From September 2026, the following changes will come into effect:

• School-branded trousers are no longer required. Tailored black school trousers can be purchased from any retailer
• A plain black pleated skirt replaces the school-branded skirt
• An optional sports hijab has been added to the PE kit

We’ve also included examples of approved uniform items, alongside items that are not permitted, to help families prepare for the new academic year.

A full summary of the consultation results can be downloaded here.

The school operates a uniform exchange program.
